285 65 18 Trail Grapplers!
Stock wranglers wore out at 38k, and couldn't come soon enough. I never liked them...
Just got 285/65 18 Nitto Trail Grapplers installed. No rubbing anywhere, and completely stock suspension and wheels!
What tire pressure have you guys found wears best on 10 ply tires with these trucks?

Went I had 285's on my 3/4 ton I had to mark the treads with calk and check wear patterns after a short drive (couple hundred yards) to find the best pressure.
Current truck was spec'd for 38lbs with 235/75r17 and is wearing evenly with 38lbs and 265/70r17 tires. Same/similar load ranges, though.

42 to 44 psi (cold) is usually a good place to start on a 10 ply used on a F-150. This would be for daily driving. Carrying a heavy load or towing you always want to add some air...this is depending on the weight you're hauling or towing. Truck look's great...look's like it's leveled in the front!

Thanks, it does look slightly leveled at some angles, but it's stock. Discount tire set them at about 38, and I was concerned it was a little too low for a 10 ply. Drives fine, but I think I'll bump em up to 42 since I never tow and see how they wear before the first rotation.

Sounds good! I just bumped them up to 42 all around. Fronts were at 38 and rears were 36/37 before. It seems to ride a little better at 42...
